Also: workchains
A workchain is an independent blockchain inside the TON network with its own consensus rules, account format, and virtual machine. Mainnet currently runs one workchain (basechain, ID=0); the masterchain (ID=-1) coordinates the entire system.
Architecturally TON allows up to 2^32 workchains, giving enormous theoretical capacity for specialized networks (e.g. privacy chains or high-frequency settlement chains).
The unique identifier of an account or contract on a blockchain.
Abstract Datagram Network Layer — TON's low-level peer-to-peer protocol.
Automated Market Maker — algorithmic pricing through a liquidity pool.
A group of transactions finalized by validators and chained to the previous block.
Bag of Cells — the binary serialization format for structured data and smart contracts in TON.
Centralized exchange — custodial exchange (Binance, OKX, Bybit).
